My wireless trail cam strategy during rut 📹

Last November, I was checking my phone at work when I got a notification - massive 10-pointer cruising past my doe bedding setup at 2 PM! That's when I knew my wireless trail cam game was dialed in. Here's my mid-season setup that's been money for rut hunting: My go-to trail cam strategy: 1️⃣ Power up with solar panels - Nothing crushes your soul like dead batteries during peak rut. Solar keeps them running all season long. 2️⃣ Max out that SD card - I use the biggest card possible. You don't want to miss that buck of a lifetime because you ran out of storage. 3️⃣ Point cameras north - Game changer! Once leaves drop, this eliminates sun glare and gives you crystal clear images. It's like having the sun as your personal lighting crew. Focus on doe bedding areas during rut - that's where the magic happens. Bucks are cruising nonstop checking for hot does, and wireless cams let you monitor without disturbing the area. Anyone else doing the same? #hunting #HuntingTips #TrailCams #WhitetailRut

I tried 4 hog methods in Texas last week

Just got back from an epic hog hunt and wanted to share what's been working for me this season! The beauty of hog hunting is having so many options to choose from. My go-to methods: 1️⃣ Spot & Stalk - Hit those feeding areas early morning with good glass. Once you spot them, patience is everything for that perfect shot opportunity. 2️⃣ Baiting - Corn and molasses work like magic (where legal). Set up downwind and wait for them to come to you. 3️⃣ Stand/Blind Hunting - Found fresh hog sign? Set up nearby and let them come to you. Requires serious patience but pays off big time. 4️⃣ Dog Hunting - Training a hog dog is serious commitment, but nothing beats having a skilled pup track and corner these smart animals. Curious what method you swear by—or rotate between? #hunting #HogHunting #HuntingTips

5 Game-Changing Tips to Stay Hidden from Waterfowl

Just had my best duck season yet thanks to these concealment secrets from Ducks Unlimited biologist John Coluccy! Waterfowl have vision 2-3x better than humans and can see colors we can't even imagine - here's how to outsmart them: 1️⃣Cover those faces and hands! Your exposed skin is like a flashlight to ducks. Face masks and gloves are non-negotiable, especially when you're moving in the blind. 2️⃣Match your surroundings perfectly. I've learned the hard way that dark brown camo in light cover makes you stick out like a sore thumb. On overcast days, this becomes even more critical. 3️⃣Use shadows strategically. Natural shadows are your best friend, but that layout blind shadow? Total giveaway. Try digging a shallow depression or using elevated decoys to break up your outline. 4️⃣Stay still even when birds are leaving. With eyes on the sides of their heads, ducks can see almost 360 degrees. Don't get caught moving when you think they're gone! 5️⃣Create distractions. Motion decoys and strategic blind placement can keep their attention off you and on your spread. #waterfowlhunting #duckhunting #huntingtips #hunting
